So, Leslie,
Tell us do! How did the introductions go??
Hideyo, what side effects are you talking about with interferon use? I
know you mentioned that before, but I hadn't heard any other mention of
it. Every vet I've talked to has either been for it's use, or at least
been convinced that it wasn't harmful in any way.
I've always used human interferon when my cats become symptomatic.
Because of the resistance factor, I thought it was better, (just in case
it does help boost their immune response), to use it when they need it
most. Gloria could be right in using it continuously. Who the hell
knows? The unpredictability of this disease keeps us guessing and
relying on instinct and faith to do our best to combat it.

Hello,
So I've gotten good feedback from those of you who DO use interferon,
but what about those of you who don't? Do you have a reason(s) for
not using it? I'm trying to decide myself.
I have the cats on one immune booster supplement, Feline Immune
Support
http://www.standardprocess.com/vet_catalog_product_detail.asp , and am
working with my vet to determine if we should add another, virolyte
http://www.thorne.com/index/mod/vet/a/virolyte, an herbal tincture, or
Interferon. I'm not going to do all of them so will compare costs and
advice to decide.
On an unrelated note, Satchmo and Beatrix will be introduced today!
Bea is allowed out into my bedroom today, then when I get home, I'll
switch them (Bea in the kitchen/living room, Satch in the
bedroom/bathroom), and after a couple of hours for them to
restabilize, I'll switch back briefly, then introduce!
So excited!
Leslie
